Geno (♥♪!?): Return of the Starsend Savior

[Datboigeno]

I’m going to guess it’s something Mario RPG related like a new Paper Mario-esque game or something that goes in an even more not great direction as the last one. Either that or a revelation about the pass. Or Sakurai retiring. Or the world ending. Or pineapple being mandated to be on every pizza idk so many possibilities

 

[Crankshadow]

Geno fam last post for me until the other side. That news is certainly interesting fatman. Have fun tonight everyone!

 

[Rohanx17]

It was a 100% a replay due to the names being Mii Brawler and Gunner and the Camera angle in the picture only being possible there.

I mean that doesn't really affect anything I just said, though I guess a replay would give them the freedom to choose when the deed took place. We'll know the truth before too long.

 

[MonkeyDLenny]

I'll just say yes and leave it at that. There's one particular thing that's probably coming tonight that will genuinely upset a lot of people but I promised not to get too deep into it given how close the award ceremony is.

Like... okay, we talking Federation Force bad here? Like does this apply to specifically us or Smash fans, or would it piss off Nintendo fans in general?

 

[Dynamic Worlok]

I'll just say yes and leave it at that. There's one particular thing that's probably coming tonight that will genuinely upset a lot of people but I promised not to get too deep into it given how close the award ceremony is. Again, Geno's fine and outside of the most absurd Murphy's Law ****ery would he not be.

If I may quote one of my favorite doctor who characters:

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Got it memorized?

Oh hey, Axel

 

[Nicnac]

This ought to be interesting. The VGA go from 1:30AM to 3:30AM in Scotland- from what you've heard is it worth staying up for Fatmanonice ?

They're remaking Mario rpg, but they're taking out geno and replacing everyone else with toads

I'm going to say that tonight is probably going to be a night of mixed emotions but I want you all here to talk about it afterwards. This could potentially be a really big night for us but perhaps not in the way you'd expect. Don't worry, I don't see anything bad happening to Geno but, like I said, emotions will probably be riding high so come chill with us afterwards.

*laughs nervously*

so how bad are we talking? Federation Force/Color Splash levels of bad and is it just this fanbase specifically or Nintendo fans in General?

 

[Ovaltine]

Instead of Geno joining Mario's adventure, it's Gaz, except Gaz looks like a generic red toad with the tiniest hue shift.

Can't wait!!!!!

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Alright gonna make a guess about what Fatman is saying.

The Cacodemon leak is fake, but considering Geno is still likely it doesn't affect his chances.

 

[Deleted member]

I love how "genuinely [upsetting]" is translating to "Federation Force/Color Splash" with a lot of people in this thread.

Can't wait for Tobuscus to come out on stage and present FEDERATION FORCE 2: COLOR SPLASH, the ambitious new crossover starring Paper Miis in the Metroid universe, trying to get Metroids to stop sucking the color from Paper Mario characters [generic toads] in space.

Calling it now: Death Stranding is beating Smash for GOTY

If only Yoshi had Baby Mario in his move set, this catastrophe would have never happened.

So another Piranha Plant, gotcha ya.

Sakurai comes on stage with his three Game Awards trophies for Smash and beats a Mallow plush until there's nothing left and says not a single word.

We're all left to wonder what he meant by this.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Upset us specifically or nintendo game fans in general?

(Deep inhale) A particular fanbase and that's all I can say.

But it was a screencap of a post that is being referenced. That’s not really going to change despite coming through several people.

Papa actually publicly shared copies of the message he originally received:

That may be it considering sabi apparently got a definitive answer on it recently from a source.

 

[Dynamic Worlok]

Here's a genuinely upsetting possibility. Sakurai announcing his retirement and smash being retired with him after this game

inb4 Jonesy or Steve is FP5.

Death Stranding is going to be like RDR2 last year and sweep the whole show

Actually, maybe Control given how many things its nominated for

We're happy to welcome Norman Reedus @wwwbigbaldhead as a presenter (and a nominee) tomorrow night at #TheGameAwards pic.twitter.com/WU6PPWIsjf

SMH Should've stanned Baboom

If Smash stanned Baboom this tragedy would've never happened as Baboom always win.

 

[EarlTamm]

(Deep inhale) A particular fanbase and that's all I can say.

I am going to guess... A Paper Mario game...

That still has the Sticker Star gameplay.

 

[Spatulo]

(Deep inhale) A particular fanbase and that's all I can say.

Might be that rumored MercurySteam remake of Super Metroid. I personally am excited by that prospect but SM is such a sacred game in the Metroid fan base that I can see it getting changed at all causing rage.

 

[PokéfreakofBACON]

Here's a genuinely upsetting possibility. Sakurai announcing his retirement and smash being retired with him after this game

Honestly, this would make me happy. Sakurai deserves a retirement. Even if it means no more Smash games ever again, Smash Ultimate is Ultimate Enough imo.

 

[Deleted member]

(Deep inhale) A particular fanbase and that's all I can say.

During the ReMind trailer Sora comes on screen and personally announces he hates Smash Bros and will never take part it in literally ever. Mic drop, he's out.

 

[Dynamic Worlok]

inb4 Jonesy or Steve is FP5.

That IS genuinely upsetting

Here's another possibility. The further delay/cancellation of animal crossing new horizons. Or the cancellation of prime 4

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Honestly, this would make me happy. Sakurai deserves a retirement. Even if it means no more Smash games ever again, Smash Ultimate is Ultimate Enough imo.

I could see that making the Kid Icarus fanbase a bit upset due to that meaning no Uprising 2.

 

[Deleted member]

inb4 Jonesy or Steve is FP5.

tbh that's not very upsetting for me I'd just die laughing. Jonesy especially my friend group and I have been memeing Jonesy for a few months so if he did pull through and get in Smash I'd simply laugh it off and look forward to post-pass.

 

[MonkeyDLenny]

inb4 Jonesy or Steve is FP5.

Steve would legitimately upset me. After everything I was put through for an entire year with Steveposters raiding Discords and raiding Smashboards it's completely ruined Steve being in Smash for me, and I never want him in; I don't want them to have the satisfaction of even getting a Mii Costume

 

[PokéfreakofBACON]

I could see that making the Kid Icarus fanbase a bit upset due to that meaning no Uprising 2.

I *am* the Kid Icarus fanbase. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

The post specifically said Sakurai and Smash being done though, so Uprising 2 could still happen with another director

 

[ForsakenM]

So my original interpretation of Fatmanonice was that Metroid Prime 4 has been canned, but now...

Here's a genuinely upsetting possibility. Sakurai announcing his retirement and smash being retired with him after this game

Damn, if Ultimate wins GOTY and Sakurai announces he is officially retiring from either Smash or game development as a whole that will be absolutely the definition of a bittersweet moment.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

During the ReMind trailer Sora comes on screen and personally announces he hates Smash Bros and will never take part it in literally ever. Mic drop, he's out.

Then Axel shows up and says he will join in his place, ending with "Got in memorised?" Though that wouldnt make the Sora fandom mad, The KH community loves Axel

 

[Rohanx17]

That IS genuinely upsetting

Here's another possibility. The further delay/cancellation of animal crossing new horizons. Or the cancellation of prime 4

Luckily it seems like whatever it is it will largely upset a very specific group of people, so something like mp4 getting canceled or sticker star 3, or sakurai tapping out is probably too broad to be it.

Personally worried that it's going to be a steve/jonsey tier pick for 5. Really hope not because the pass doesn't have a refund option so I'll never be able to update the game ever again.

 

[MonkeyDLenny]

It would hurt, but it would be a good kind of hurt; the dude deserves a break after everything he's done and continues to do

 

[pinshadow]

(Deep inhale) A particular fanbase and that's all I can say.

Earthbound remake but no Mother 3, hard bet.

 

[TheHeartbreakKid]

Steve or Jonesy in Smash would age like milk

 

[DarkFalcon]

Something that would upset a fanbase? Another Fire Emblem character. Though I wouldn't be upset at Edelgard lol.

 

[SSGuy]

Calling it now: Death Stranding is beating Smash for GOTY

Strand type games are so Super Nintendo, Kojima.

It's all about Resident Evil 2 for GOTY if we are being serious about it. That game looks stunning and plays just as well.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I would be because it isnt the better character Claude s/ but kinda also serious
